The short version
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. reported a problem with the trailer hitches. Here is what owners need to know.
The trailer hitch bolts may have been insufficiently tightened.
Loose bolts may fall out, causing the remaining bolts to break, which could lead to separation of the trailer hitch and trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will tighten the trailer hitch bolts, free of charge.
